Hello everyone. Before i get started let me just say this isnt a rant just a please help me post. Here is my situation:
My wife and i have been with sprint for 4 months now. Every month since we started our agreement with sprint we have had to have both our epics replaced so that makes a total of 8 epics that have come into our house hold. I have always been nice (never raised voice or cursed at) to the reps in the store and over the phone. How many replacements do i need before sprint switches us to a different model phone.
My wife and i need reliable phones as i am a paramedic and use phone at work and my wife is a stay at home mom with our cellphones being only form of communication. I have been googling for sprints policy and have come up with nothing. Thanks for any help.

What exactly is failing?
To correct you, this is a rant.
You didn't ask a real question. Sprint makes next to no loss replacing your phone if you're under TEP insurance. They'll keep on replacing the phone with refurbished phones until:
A. They find a reason to charge you for the replacement
B. You ask to change phones, likely at a cost
C. The Epic is discontinued (not likely soon)
Refurbished isn't bad, but it's not new.
Moreso, you claim to have already found this answer yourself nearly 3 weeks ago:

According to my local corp store, if i replace my phone 2 more times (already done 3 exchanges) then i will be able to switch to different device which if i have to exchange this epic 2 more times i am jumping ship to htc and if evo 3d is out then i am going to it.

Furthermore, without already being an HTC user, you clearly don't realize it is plagued with many similar problems, although without you mentioning a single problem, I can't compare it for you. However, only 4 months into a contract, Sprint will NOT be giving you a free replacement to the Evo, especially not the Evo 3D. You will be paying a premium to switch phones, and likely be forced into another 2 year extension on your plan.
Now, if you'd like to actually use this forum for what it's for, please, tell us what's so wrong with your phones that you have replaced 6 of them?
Double post.
My guess he is an EVO user just trying to stir up the Epic forums.
I brought my phone back last weekend because it died. It was the 3rd Epic that I had taken back from the beginning of my contract. I told them that I would like to switch to a different phone but they werent willing to do that. They said that if all 3 problems would have been within 6 months of one another then the manager could issue a different model of phone. Since my last brick wasn't within 6 months of the previous 2, they weren't willing to replace. So I believe that is their policy.
Very strange... I've been on the same Epic for nearly a year.. Must be a lot of duds out there or some are just very hard on a phone.
To the trolls that post I am not an evo user. Yes I did make that post to help someone that asked. I was told in store 5 phones in 6 months and on the phone I was told 3 phones. That's what is confusing me. Also research also instead of stalking me the evo at full retail is the same if not less then the epic. I am not even looking at the evo 3d because I know I will have to pay a significant difference.
The problems I am having for those that have posted and showed a willingness to help me. What happened is (happens on my epic and my wifes): apps started to force close then the touch screen stops working then the phone goes into a boot loop that I can't fix. I am on stock and not rooted. This is the first epic I haven't rooted. I am just confused from getting different stories. The phones have never had any external damage.

I have witnessed this on a friends epic. I thought for sure I would be able to fix it with a fresh install of eb13 then ec05 nothing helped. The screen would not work and the phone was in a boot loop. I thought in the back of my mind he must have sat on it or something. Then I saw someone else has the problem too. Coincidence?

Thank you and now I see. I appreciate that. Thanks. I ask a legit question and all people want to do is knock people down. Whatever... Atleast there has been a few posts of people seeming to want to try to help. I see these forums still haven't changed and apparently never will.

Try not installing anything. I noticed one app I had in the market boot looped my epic. I reported it but nothing has fixed the app (locoroco) it would cause my phone to over heat running in back ground killing the battery then killed on board memory sure to heat. Sprint tech helped me through this.

"As far as exchanging it in store for a different model it depends on what the Warranty Exchange List allows them to do. Each device has a list of roughly equivalent devices to be replaced with in case the same model isn't available, or now if you're gone through multiple devices within 6 months."

the warrenty exchange. I did this awhile back with my touch pro and i got the palm pre.
i had traded in my old touch pro like 7 times and went to a sprint store (the official store not a exclusive retailer )
tell them whats up with the phone how many switches and you arent satisfied. you pay money for a phone and expect it to work. inquire about the swap list for the phone.
all in all be firm and make your point. just be nice.. they are employee's afterall and each employees experience varies.
sorry for errors or hard to read things. sent from the Epic.

Epic button fail
I don't have the insurance but I do have a defective phone. I'm outraged that Sprint is holding me up for $35.00 to exchange my phone for a working-somebody-else's-rejected/returned-faulty refurbished unit. Why should I pay extra because their phone (back button no longer works) --less than six months old- is defective?
I've looked through several forums trying to find someone who has a user fix to restore use of my "back" button to no avail...tried the "enable haptic feedback to 3/4" suggestion and it worked once, but never again.
$35.00 for this aggravation? Why?

The phone has a 1 year warranty from the manufacturer. Mail it back into Samsung and you'll get it fixed or replaced in about 10 days. If you need it back the same day/next day you have to have Sprint's insurance or pay them for the service.
I'm not a huge fan of Sprint or Samsung for that matter, but business is business and it seems fair enough to me.
Okay guys, I need some help from some genius hacker out there! I bricked my Evo... I know what you are thinking... Yes, it is a REAL brick!! the kind where your phone does not respond to anything at all!! It doesn't even charge or connect to the computer, the screen doesnt even come on.
I was updating the radio and it went to the white screen with the green android. When that happens you are supposed to let it sit, its loading or whatever, i rushed in and took the battery out, and that's where i screwed up! I knew i wasn't supposed to do that but at the moment i didn't remember that part!
Some help would be greatly apreciated, if you can fix my problem, I might be able to pay back with some real information about boost+evo!
Thank you

If you pulled your phones battery during a radio update your phone is now a paperweight. If it won't turn on there's nothing you can do. I hope you have insurance bud. Sorry
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Nevermind.
If you pulled the battery before the radio update finished and it wont respond, its pretty much a sure thing that its done man. Sorry There isn't anything anyone can do. Have you tried charging the battery for a while or a different one?

Unfortunately, you are correct. You now have a REAL brick and there is nothing you can do about it. If it's under warranty, take it to sprint and see what they say.
That is the one way to guarantee making a brick out of an Evo...pulling the battery during a radio flash. Sorry for your luck.
EDIT: We all replied at the same time. Nice.
Yea, that's what I thought, but maybe, just maybe, someone came out with a solution... But yea, i have 2 batteries and a charger for them... I have done sooooo many worse things to this phone and this is the one thing that actually screwed it up... LOL
I wish i could take it to sprint, but i can't.. LOL don't ask why please...
Oh, well, Thanks anyways!

Haha, I'm going to ask anyway, WHY??? Does it have something to do with your boostmobile comment in the OP? Or for some other reason you don't have Sprint service? Bad ESN? I don't really care, I'm just curious. But yeah, as everyone else has said, you're hosed. You might be able to get $50 on craigslist as a non-working parts phone. Or, call up HTC and see if they'll do a warranty replacement without involving Sprint. No idea if this is even possible, but it's worth a shot. Unless the ESN is bad, then you're probably on your own.

You know, ive never actually checked if my esn is bad or not... hmmm, it probably is! but ill give htc a call nevertheless.
The best thing you can do is throw it in traffic and see how many cars run over it, 'cause it ain't no good for nothin' else.....
is there such a thing as truly dead?
i remember that before, hacks to phones were done using hardware interfaces.
arent there any solution like that for the evo?

Best bet is to sell it for parts on Craigslist or eBay. If all of the hardware is in good condition, you may be able to get some money for it.

I surely hope this topic hasn't been made... I don't want to be that guy.
Short and sweet... I'm rooted (that MAY not have anything to do with it)
I got this phone launch day... It worked perfectly. Not saying this is the reason why but as soon as the Iphone 4S was released my phone started failing.. Essentially what it does is give me a fast paced busy signal when I try to make a call. Sometimes I have to attempt to make a car 15 times or more. Of course that is annoying but people also get the same signal when they try to call me. Since I'm in sales that is a huge problem.
I called Sprint, the local store. The lady told me that while OG EVOs were having that issue I was the first SII. She said sprint was currently upgrading (and I read stuff in the news to back that up on a national level).
So after receiving no help from the local store I called the 1800 sprint1 stuffola.. They had me go through the whole ##xxxx## stuff. After doing that and it not fixing the problem they suggested I go to a sprint store and have my phone replaced. Now I, don't want to do that. I really don't want someone else’s phone and I just have this thing.. Where I don't want another phone (even though it will be an SII).
Now, I have an airwave at the house and I have absolutely no problem there. Calls come and go as they please. Which makes me feel like it isn't my phone. Is there anything I can do before I go and replace my baby... I really don't feel like going through the whole unrooting process and getting rid of the triangle before I go in there...
I've done PRL updates so that isn't it.
Not sure, but maybe try flashing the new modem...
Bobby O'S Epic Touch..
I had issues with busy signals and calls not going through also....until I turned off Google voice from my computer. I was using Google voice and groove ip to make calls over wifi and once I turned wifi off my phone was useless. If you aren't using GV then I have no clue lol.

Hi everyone,
I made a stupid error last night and I flashed the wrong rom to my phone :S I flashed a AT&T ROM, now my phone won't turn ON at all tried all combination to go into download mode nothing happen. When I plug it to my computer it required a driver that I couldn't find. to make it worse I called T-mobile hoping that they will help me but they couldn't because I don't have a prove of purchase :S since I bought it from someone else.
Any idea what can I do ?
Yep, it's dead for good unless someone has figured out how to make/use a USB jig for the TMO SGS2... that's why we read before flashing roms.... it's never really a good idea to flash a rom from a different device anyway.
What a retarded mistake, seriously?
You go to flash a ROM but fail to even recognize that they are two totally different phones?
If you are that clueless you should not even be flashing ANYTHING

I doubt it'll come back to life without a USB jig. You can try calling T-Mobile for a replacement again and just tell them you need a warranty replacement...the person you were speaking to probably doesn't know that proof of purchase is not required. I've never had to show proof of purchase and always gotten my phones from somewhere other than tmobile, but I think that would be considered fraud in your case since its not really a mistake on the manufacturers part....
Does it boot up? if it doesn't boot at all you're golden. Just call in for a warranty replacement.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Yes, even if you do not have a proof of purchase, you can call Samsung directly and get it replaced.
Please remember this guy came here for help not to be criticized. I also know that when something like this happens, it's no fun and he's probably feeling bad enough as it is, so why add salt to injury?
Thank you for all your good replies, say what ever I'm retard or anything you want. I made a mistake ( because I didn't pay attention ).

I personally don't work at Sprint, but if you play dumb and you make up a good enough excuse, their's an 85% chance that they'll give you a new one. I mean since it isn't physical damage, you're in luck. I say i's worth a shot. My E4GT is at Sprint right now, I completely reverted it back to stock and they had no clue on what was going on with it and they decided to give a new one. Just try it. Just lie and say something like "It was overheating, and it shut off." Good luck kiddo.

Take it in to a Sprint store that has a repair center. Act clueless. With no insurance you should only have to pay $35 since it's a software issue. You may even get a free replacement...I doubt that though.

I'm glad you're doing that, hope they can fix it.
In your op you said you didn't have insurance then said you're gonna get it, then play dumb. That's what I responded to. Thanks for being noble.

I didn't say I was going to. Just wanted to know if it was even an option. But I had already sent my payment to mobiletech.com and then asked my question on here. More to humor myself cause I wanted to feel I did the right thing. And i am. Never bricked a phone before so i apologize for my melt down.
Better luck next time bud

Way to man up! Hope jtag works. Worst that could happen, if jtag doesn't work, is you go in tell them your phone won't work period, pay the deductible and you'll most likely have a phone fast. But you get to be honorable. Good luck.
I again do not understand explain to me how someone who has insurance I on a device raises our payment that is the stupidest thing I have heard

All because my hero evo and shift had minor cosmetic damages and my hero vol + bar broke off... They didnt ask **** just gave me and my wife new phones..

He clearly stated in the op that he DOES NOT have insurance. Carry on.

i know right? its not totally all the brickers fault but they are a large part of the problem. Take responsibility and pay the deductable
If you ultimately need to go to Sprint just tell them you are a flashaholic but promise to go to rehab if they can help you out....
Just as someone mentioned above when you buy your phone there is small window of time to buy insurance. After that time you cannot.
